27. 1H NMR spectra. The signals of the protons attached to the newly formed C=C bond appeared at higher fields in comparison with those of the benzene analogues (12: δ = 5.26, 15: δ = 4.97). This tendency could be attributed to the stronger anisotropic effect of a naphthalene system relative to that of a benzene ring and/or to the closer spatial relationship of the vinyl hydrogen atoms to the π-electron cloud in the naphthalene system; see: a) T.
